A block in the shape of a rectangular solid has a cross-sectional area of 4.00 cm^2 across its width, a front-to-rear length of 5.00 cm, and a material conductivity of 10^6 Ω x m^-1. The block’s material contains 5.00x10^22 conduction electrons/m^3. A potential difference of 35.0 V is maintained between its front and rear faces. Find: (a) the resistivity of the block material (b) the resistance of the block (c) the current through the block (d) the magnitude of the current density if it is uniform (e) the drift velocity of the conduction electrons (f) the magnitude of the electric field through the block
Ohm's law
Ohm’s law is a prominent concept in physics and electronics. It gives the relation between the current and the voltage. It is used to analyze and construct electrical circuits. Ohm's law states that the voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it.
Path of Least Resistance
In a series of alternate pathways, the direction of least resistance is the actual or metaphorical route that offers the least resistance to forwarding motion by a given individual or body.
